Just wanted to let you know you inspired me to take my starter out of
hibernation. I will feed it for a few days to make sure it's still
alive. It's been at least 6 mos since I've used it, so i'm keeping my
fingers crossed. I've left it for quite a while before, and it was fine
after a few days feeding.
